Quartile
One of the four divisions of observations which have been grouped into four equal-sized sets based on their statistical rank. The quartile including the top statistically ranked members is called the first quartile and denoted
. The other quartiles are similarly denoted
,
, and
. For
data points with
of the form
(for
, 1, ...), the hinges are identical to the first and third quartiles.
The following table summarizes a number of common methods for computing the position of the first and third quartiles from a sample size
(P. Stikker, pers. comm., Jan. 24, 2005). In the table,
denotes the nearest integer function.
